Artistic and Healthful
No one who lias ever decorated a room with Alabastine
can rest content until the whole home is so decorated.
Alabastine tints have more tone than wall paper, paint, or
whiting-and glue preparations. The minute
rock crystals, of which this hygienic cement is
made, reflect the rays of light softly and
cheerfully"-'and actually make the room several
degrees brighter. Alabastine does not rub off,
peel, crack or decay. It is the most durable,
healthful and economical wall covering.
Your hardware dealer sells 5 lb. package
50c. Our book "Homes, Healthful and
Beautiful." mailed free on request, tells
how to do artistic work.

EEPOET OF THE EXECUTIVE OF THE CONGEEGATIONAL UNION
OF CANADA, FOE THE YEAE ENDING JUNE 1, 1918
For the fourth year our Union has met under the shadow of the great
war. The year has been marked by many a victory for our forces though
it closes under the menace of the last two great drives of the enemy. During
the year the force of the new ally of a year ago, the United States, has been
increasingly brought to bear and the deeper fellowship of the English speak-
ing nations has removed ancient prejudice and is full of promise for future
co-operation in the work of the world.
In Canada, the earlier enthusiastic stage in which the war was expected
to end soon has been replaced by a quiet and deep recognition of the war
as a terrible business which we must see through to the end, no matter how
long it may last or what sacrifice it may entail. Your Executive would
recommend that again the Union should assure the Government of the un-
flagging determination of our people to support the prosecution of the war
to a victorious termination and should put at the disposal of the Government
the services of our Union, of our pastors and our churches.
In this connection we recommend heartily to all our pastors that in ac-
cordance with reqiiests which have come from the Government they urge the
fullest possible production of food, also that before June 22nd our pastors
should explain and urge upon the congregations that there should be the
fullest co-operation with the Government in securing on June 22nd a com-
plete registration of all over sixteen years of age.
We urge upon our churches also that June 30th, which has at the request
of the churches been set aside by the Government, be observed as a special
day of intercession and prayer. The anniversary of our own national
birthday may well be given to earnest prayer that victory may come to
the Allied nations and liberty and self-government to all nations both
great and small.
The Executive have not as yet asked from the churches any record
of the men drafted under the recent Acts but it is probable that the men
given by our churches now amount to well over three thousand.
Eev. George J. Hindley who at the time of our last Union was re-
ported as Corporal in the 204th is now a Chaplain in London. Captain
Horsey is now in charge of work in Hospitals in Ottawa. Eev. J. P.
Gerrie is also overseas in the military transport work of the Y.M.C.A.
Rev. Churchill Moore's name must now be added to the list of our
ministers who have sons in khaki, his son Churchill having joined the
Flying Corps; and to this Corps has recently gone Stanley, the second son
of Eev. George Eead to put on khaki. Every available son of the parson-
age in our Union ranks is now in uniform.
We regret to add to the list of our ministers who have lost sons in
the war the names of Eev. Dr. Hugh Pedley, of Eev. J. P. Gerrie and of
our good friend Dr. Ealph, who has now lost three sons through the war.
Your Executive felt the need of a special committee to deal with mat-
ters arising out of the war and last fall appointed a special Military Ser-
14 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
vice Committee of which Eev. A. F. Pollock^ B.D., is Chairman. They will
present a separate report to the Uuion. Your Secretary has joined in a
number of interdenominational meetings which had for their object the
improvement of the Chaplain Service in Canada and the provision of
Chaplains for the Flying Corps. The Soldier 's Booklet was issued during
the year to certain of the camps. There are still some hundreds of copies
on hand from the last order of ten thousand.
During the year the great need of the Armenian and Syrian refugees
led to all the churches in Canada joining in a special appeal to the Sunday
Schools for help. The total received at last report was over $106,000.00.
From our schools the report has not yet been given to us to date, but at
last report our schools had contributed over $800.00. It is worthy of note
that the largest contribution, $135.00, came from our Eusso-German people
at Hilda, Alta.
The report of our Statistical Secretary" will show on the whole a good
year considering the circumstances. Our churches feel the loss of their
many workers who have gone to the front, but the members have closed
up the ranks at home and taken on extra work and sacrifice, and in general
the situation both locally and denominationally is good.
The contribution our churches have made in ministers and in theologi-
cal students to the war, has made it difficult for us to supply the pulpits
at home. Special attention should be given in all our churches to enlisting
our young people in definite consecration to the work of the ministry and
other forms of Christian leadership.
Our Eeceipts and Apportionments for the year are as follows:

16 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Interdenominational relations. The pressure of the great needs of the
present both at home and abroad has brought the churches at home steadily
closer together. This has been manifested in joint support of the appeals
for war work of various kinds. Last fall the Presbyterian, Methodist,
Baptist and Congregational Churches joined in the observance of Eally
Day for the Sunday Schools and in using a common programme. These
churches with the Jewish and Eoman Catholic and Salvation Army joined
also in Intercession Services and in the approach to the Government in
regard to the Chaplain Service.
During the year the desire for united advance in Canada led to a
number of joint conferences in regard to Evangelism.
These gave way to a number of joint meetings which had in view a
Simultaneous Forward Movement for the deepening of the spiritual life,
the enlisting of recruits for the ministry and the more adequate meeting
of our responsibilities as churches both at home and abroad. The present
plan calls for a committee of forty, of which the Union is asked to appoint
three members.
The plans for the World Conference on Faith and Order have also
gone ahead steadily during the year and progress has been made.
During the year Ave have lost by death one of our older members, Eev.
John Morton, Avhose high character, kindly soul and affectionate helpful-
ness endeared him to us all. The Executive has forwarded to the family
an expression of their sympathy.
The programme as arranged is submitted to you. It is our pleasure
to have as guests, Eev. Dr. William E. Strong, Editorial Secretary of The
American Board of Commissionei's for Foreign Missions, whose fellowship
we shall much appreciate. We are to have with us also from the United
States Eev. Claris E. Silcox who has been helping to make conditions in
Newport better for Uncle Sam's boys in khaki and who will tell us of
this work. Of our own men we welcome our veteran missionary, Dr. Ealph
from Chellwood, Saskatchewan, who is Avith us for the first time, and also
Captain Horsey who, after service at the front in France both as Chaplain
and as a comlaatant officer, is again with us and will tell us of the work
with our boys in the front lines.
An unusual pleasure is to be ours in that on the Friday evening of
the Union there is to be the commissioning of four young missionaries
for the work in Chisamba, Eev. J. Arthur Steed and Mrs. Steed, Dr. E. S.
Hall and Miss Beatrice M. Belnavis who all go to our work in Chisamba.
This with the commissioning of Miss Elizabeth Eead at the Woman's
Board meeting in Hamilton on May 29th will make the largest reinforce-
ment we ha\'e yet sent out to our work in Chisamba.
The DeA^otional Hour Addresses this year will be War-time Messages
given to us by those who haA^e been in touch with the work of the soldiers
at home and in France.
All of AA'hich is respectfully submitted.
WILLIAM T. GUNN, Secretary.

Executive, in accordance with the following resolution passed in Sept., 1917.
" 'That in view of the serious charges which have been under investigation
for a period of several years — embodied in documents from several sources,
to which no counter documents in original form have been produced, and
whereas Mr. McEwen 's explanation was not satisfactory, and whereas his
approach to the Christian public for funds to carry on his so-called missionary
activities is not such that we can endorse, we therefore suspend him from
the membership in the Union, with notification that, at the next annual meet-
ing, we will recommend that his name be dropped from our roll.'

the Triune God may be granted to all these friends in their hour of sorrow.
Also to the family of Eev. W. H. Haight, a member of the Consulting Board. ' '

EEPOET OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHUECH UNION
Union Committee has to report no special activities during the past year.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church last June by formal reso-
lution urged its people the avoidance of debate and formal propagandism
either for or against the Union of the three negotiating Bodies, for the period
of the war. It also resolved that no efforts should be put forth to detail
the action, appropriate to a future occasion, but that the work of its Union
Committee in the meantime should be confined to the superintendence of such
'practical forms of co-operation as had already been organized.
In view of the situation thus created, there was nothing left for your
Committee but to merge its efforts with those of the Committee on Co-operation.
Considerable progress has been made in this direction, on which that Com-
mittee will report.
We recommend that the Committee be continued and that it have charge
of all co-operative work between the churches, also that it should appoint
from its members an Executive to act for it, save on such occasions when it
may be deemed advisable to call the whole Committee together.
Mr. Hilton Ithen presented the report of the Publishing Company.
Moved by Mr. Hilton, seconded by H. O 'Hara, and carried.
EEPOET OF THE CONGEEGATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY
To the Chairman and Gentlemen of the Congregational. Union, now in Ses-
sion in the Bond Street Church, City of Toronto:
Gentlemen, — I regret that it will be impossible for me to be present at
the time appointed for submitting the report of the Congregational Publishing
Company, therefore Mr. D. Hilton, one of the members of the Committee,
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA
23
kindly Tolunteered to read the annual report ^liich onr Committee has much
pleasure in presenting.
Your Nominating Committee a year ago. elected the following officers to
carry on the work of the Publishing 'Company : Eev. A. Margrett, Eev. E. D.
Silcox, Eev. J. G. Hindley, E. Wightman, D. O. Wood,, and F. J. Smith.
Owing to the removal of Eev. J. G. Hindley and Mr. D. 0. Wood from
our city, the vacancies were filled by Mr. D. Hilton and Mr. C. A. Tubby,
and through the courtesy of the other members, I was elected as President.
I, therefore, take the opportunity to thank the members of the Committee
for the earnest, business-like manner in which the matters pertaining to
the Publishing Company have been carried on during the year. I am cer-
tainly thankful for the untiring efforts of my associates, and the pleasant re-
lationship which has existed throughout the term.
The Publishing Company has held ten meetings, that is to say when a
full Committee was present. The Editor, Eev. E. D. Silcox; the Secretary, Eev.
A. Margrett, and myself held several meetings when there was no necessity
for a full Committee.
A new set of books was opened at the commencement of the year and a
complete Card System organized, giving names and addresses, the year that
subsei-iptions were paid to, which Card System also is indexed under the
alphabet, showing the month when subscriptions expire, and showing at a
glance the names and addresses of persons receiving the Congregationalist,
and when their subscription has been paid to.
Our Secretary, the Eev. A. Margrett, has kept a complete minute book
recording all records and other transactions that have been discussed or
dealt with by the Committee.
Our mailing list has been carefully gone over and it was found that
there was a very large amount of arrears due by subscribers, which arrears
have been greatly reduced, and it is the desire of the Committee that a
strong effort be made by you gentlemen in trying to help the Committee to
get subscribers to pay up arrears and to pay their subscriptions promptly.
The last time we compiled the mailing list we found that there were some
968 subscribers (including 38 gratises).
Your Committee in the publication of the paper has endeavored to make
the same a credit to the denomination notwithstanding the increased
price of paper and material in its publication. We are paying to-day
$2,142.80 for its publication against $1,765.68 for last year, an increase of
$377.12.
The following is a statement of the cash received and expenditure in
connection with the publication of the Congregationalist.

MILITARY SERVICE BOARD REPORT.
I have the honor to present the report for ' ' The Baby Organization ' '
in connection with our denomination, i.e., The Military Service Board, which
had its origin in the action of our Executives convened in this city last Sep-
tember, and which was the result of an appeal made by representatives of
the Protestant forces called together in Toronto. Major Fallis ' appeal was for
the sum of $50,000.00, of which our share is $1,000.00. This, our Executives
decided, should be raised and a Military Service Board was appointed to devise
ways and means of raising our apportionment and also for the purpose
of being the connecting link witli the authorities at Ottawa and with our
chaplains overseas.
The personnel of the Board is as follows: — Revs. A. F. Pollock, T. W.
Davidson, Gr. E. Read, Gr. H. Craik, J. L. Alexander, G. Adam and Captain
Horsey, who has already done splendid service overseas. The first named on
this Board was made Chairman, Rev. T. W. Davidson, Secretary, and Rev. G. E.
Read, Treasurer. Three meetings of the Board have been held and finally the
campaign was launched. Printed appeals were sent out to all our churches;
one for each pastor, S. S. Superintendent and Y.P.S. President, accompanied by
special envelopes for the offering, with the request that April 14th be made
a day of special prayer for our chaplains and men, and that the offering be
taken on that occasion.
The appeal was also printed in The Congregationalist, and a special
article on the chaplains' work was contributed by Capt. Horsey. The results
have been gi-alifying.
The Treasurer reports $762.14 to date. The following are the Churches
contributing, with the amounts as given below:

Our thanks are due the churches which have already responded and our
confidence is that the churches which have not yet taken action will not fail
to do something, however small, for surely, all our churches, Sunday Schools,
and Young People 's Societies are determined to have some part in a movement
THE CONGREGATIOKAL UNION OF CANADA Zl
SO worthy of our respect and support, and which means so much to those
self-sacrificing heroic lads who count not their own li\es dear in order that
the world may be freed from tyranny, despotism and oppression, and made
a safe habitation for posterity for all time to come. And to this end it is
important that we heartily support this movement, for chaplains of the right
stamp were never more needed, and it is being more firmly established than
ever before, that their distinctive work is invaluable in the army and navy.
Earl C'urzon, of Keddleston, in a speech delivered at the time of the British
Parliament's vote of thanks, says:
' ' But there are one or two more other debts of honor, which you would
wish to pay this afternoon. May I say one word about the chaplains of every
church and denomination? How gallant and perilous their service has been,
may be shown by the fact that over 70 have been killed, many wounded and
many others have died from disease, two have the A'ictoria Cross, 130 have
been decorated, and many more have been mentioned in dispatches. ' '
And among these Chaplains we have reason for pride in those who have
been representing us in this important and vital service. Captain Horsey, who
had to revert to the rank of Lieutenant, after going overseas, in order to get
to France, afterwards had his chaplaincy restored to him, and we have been
pleased to learn through officials who came in contact with him, that he is one
of the high-grade chaplains in whose work, as a denomination, we ought to
have considerable pride. Since his return from overseas, he has been
engaged as Senior Chaplain, in the Third Military District, Eastern Ontario.
Eevs. Geo. Hindley and Merton Smith are our representatives in England
and France respectively, at the present time, and there have been applications
from several others who are ready to serve us as soon as a vacancy occurs, and
the Eev. Geo. Adam, pastor of Emmanuel Church, Montreal, was asked by
your board to act as Senior Chaplain in Canada.
Up to a short time ago there were no Chaplains appointed for the
Flying Corps, which has its headquarters in Toronto, but there have recently
been appointed six chaplains to minister in this department of our military
service work.
In conclusion, your board appreciates the co-operation of our Congrega-
tional Churches and in any further services we may be called upon to render
before this gigantic warfare shall have been brought to a glorious victory
for liberty, brotherhood, and righteousness, we earnestly request a continuance
of your sympathy and co-operation.
Eespectfully submitted,
A. F. POLLOCK, Chairman of the Board.
The report was seconded by Mr. Nelles, and adopted.
EEPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CO-OPEEATION WITH OTHER
CHUECHES ON MISSIONAEY WOEK
This Committee has to do only with that part of the co-operative work
of the denomination which concerns co-operation between the Presbyterian,
Methodist and Congregational Churches in mission fields and in local churches
which, while self-supporting, desire to enter some form of local union.
Formal organization along this line dates from 1911, when committees
from the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational Churches drew up "An
Agreement for Co-operation in Home Mission Work. ' ' This agreement aimed
rather to divide territory and allot localities to one or other of the three
churches, than to unite the churches then existing.
28 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
Under this agreement, however, a very considerable amount of co-operation
was effected, especially in the three Western Provinces. This affected chiefly
the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches and very largely eliminated overlap-
ping of those two churches in the three provinces of British Columbia, Alberta
and Saskatchewan. The agreement and the arrangements made under it were
all in anticipation of the organic union of the three churches.
In 1916 the Assembly voted definitely in favour of organic union, so
informed the Methodist and Congregational Churches and instructed its Com-
mittee ' ' to plan for the largest measure that may be possible of federation
or co-operation in the work under their oversight in the interests of economy
and efficiency." As a result of this a joint committee on co-operation met
in January, 1917, and drew up a revised and amended ' ' Agreement for Co-
operation in Home Mission Work" and also a "Suggested Plan for Local
Union Churches in affiliation with either the Presbyterian Church, the Metho-
dist Church or the Congregational Union of Canada. ' ' These two documents
were adopted by the Presbyterian Assembly in June, 1917, and are the basis
of present co-operative plans. Both these documents are a very considerable
advance toward union. They provide for the formation or union of local
churches having affiliation with one of the three negotiating churches, but
Mhich have considerable liberty as to their local organization, the organization
recommended being that provided for the local church in the Basis of Union.
There have been, in addition to the plans thus provided, a number of unions
which have taken the form of a federation, the churches uniting keeping their
own organization separately but uniting in support of the local work.
Altogether beyond the above plans and outside of them, there have come
into existence, through the desire for united local effort, a number of inde-
pendent local Union Churches, especially in the West. To provide for some
care of these independent Union Churches and at the request of a meeting of
their representatives, an Advisory Council was formed with one representa-
tive from each of the three churches and one from the Union Churches. In
the West these Union Churches to the number of seventy or more have organized
themselves into a Synod with three Presbyteries. Practically all their organ-
ization is formed in accordance with the Basis of Union approved by the
three churches. The local Union Church is formed as laid down in the Basis
of Union and their ministers are in future to be required to give general
assent to the Basis of Union.
Provision has now been made whereby ministers of the Presbyterian,
Methodist and Congregational Churches may serve as pastors of these Union
Churches and still retain their standing in their own denominations. Pro-
vision has also been made at a meeting of the representatives of the Union
Churches held in Eegina last March that in future these Union Churches shall
contribute to the Mission Funds of the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches,
thus removing what had been found to be the danger of those in the Union
Churches losing touch with the broader outlook of national and world-wide
Christian work.
Practical^ all these Union Churches are formed upon the Basis of Union
and the whole movement is an anticipation of the organic union of our three
churches and will be merged in it. In the meantime these Union Churches are
self-supporting and need only fellowship and advice — and ministers.
Coming back to the co-operative efforts of the three churches directly,
very much more has been accomplished than is generally supposed. No full
statistical information is as yet compiled but enough can be told in general
terms to indicate the great amount of progress and the saving in men and
money to the churches.
British Columbia. — Here a survey of the whole Province has lately
been made and the districts are now allocated in large measure to either the
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA 29
Presbyterian or the Methodist Churches. A great deal of delimitation of terri-
tory and exchange of stations was previously carried out under the 1911
agreement already referred to.
As a result the Presbyterian Superintendent of Northern British Colum-
bia reports that among Mission fields there is overlapping at only nine points
and six of these are connected with nine other stations where there is no
overlapping. Of their augmented charges, seven have no overlapping and
nine are connected with other stations in circuits which would not be other-
wise ministei'ed to. Even in these readjustments are being considered.
In Southern British Columbia there is also now little overlapping. It
is estimated that in the last seven years there has been in this field a saving
to the Presbyterian Church Of ten men and $20,000.
Alberta. — In this Province also the 1911 Agreement was early and well
carried out. The Province is now divided into nine districts, each covered by
separate co-operative committees.
The report from Central Alberta says, ' ' There is absolutely no overlapping
in the country missions in this district. ' '
The Northern Alberta Presbyterian Superintendent also says, concerning
the rural work: "So far as I know there is not a point in the district where
a man could be saved by further co-operation. ' ' From Southern Alberta
comes the same report and it is estimated that in the Southern District alone
there have been saved to the Co-operating Churches the services of forty
men and an outlay of $20,000 in the seven years.
The present field of co-operative effort is now the small towns where
the central churches may overlap, but where they minister to separate sets
of out-stations which could not be ministered to as well by the one minister
of one central church. However, even here rearrangements are in progress.
Saskatchewan. — In this Province the 1911 agreement also came into
early operation and by dividing districts as they were settled since that date
a great deal of overlapping which, under older conditions, would have gone
on, has been avoided.
Northern Saskatchewan reports co-operation arranged in some thirty-eight
places and the Presbyterians have now only four fields receiving grants where
co-operation has not been effected.
In Southern Saskatchewan the Presbyterian Superintendent reports that
of 287 missionary congregations there is overlapping with the Methodists in
only seven places and in these there is church property concerned. Also of 83
augmented congregations there is overlapping with the Methodists in only
13 and here again there is the question of property.
Manitoba. — This Province was much slower than the Western Provinces
to bring co-operation formally into effect and the people formed a number
of local union churches on their own initiative, there being now some thirty
Union Churches in the Province. However, by consent and informal allotting
of districts and withdrawals from this district, the overlapping was elimin-
ated in three-quarters of the rural districts.
In the last eighteen months the matter has been taken up more formally
and as an example, in the Swan River district, a joint commission of the
Methodists and Presbyterians brought about a readjustment which saved seven
men out of twenty-one. This re-arrangement enabled them not only to better
minister to the fields, but also to save about $3,000 a year in missionary grants.
Practically overlapping in the rural work has been eliminated in almost all
the missionary rural fields of the Province.
Ontario. — Coming East to New Ontario it is with great pleasure that
we report that the rearrangement of 160 churches and preaching stations which
was carried out in 1917 has been a great success. The Superintendent of
tliat district for the Presbyterian Church reports as follows : "In March, 1913,
30 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
the Presbyterian Home Missions Board passed grants for Xew Ontario of
$45,887.64, and in 1918, $19,667.40. The Presbyterian Church is now serving
the district with 44 fewer men and $26,220.24 less money than five years ago,
but the Presbyterian Church is serving 30 per cent, more families than five
years ago, while the missionary givings have increased nearly 100 per cent.
There is now no overlapping in aid receiving charges between the Presbytery
of Toronto and the City of Port Arthur. ' ' *
To this saving must be added that of the Methodist Church so that in all
this rearrangement must be saving the two churches over 60 men and over
$40,000 a year. In older Ontario, where the settled conditions make changes
much slower, there has yet been considerable getting together.
Eearrangements in Ontario and Quebec, made in the last year, are reported
to have saved the Presbyterian Church alone about $3,850 a year in grants.
Conferences for adjustment have during the last year been held in the Pres-
byteries of Kingston, Peterboro, Lanark, Lindsay, Whitby, Barrie, Orange-
ville and Owen Sound. Quite a number of co-operative plans are now under
consideration in Ontario and Quebec.
For the Eastern Provinces no information is yet to hand.
For much of the above information your Committee is indebted to a pre-
liminary report of the Presbyterian Home Mission Board.
A review of the information shows that from the Eastern bounds of
New Ontario right out to the Pacific overlapping in rural fields has been
largely eliminated. In the small towns of the West there are still problems
to be solved and in the cities comparatively little has been done as yet.
In older Ontario, Quebec and from individual instances known to your
committee in the Eastern Provinces, a beginning of co-operation has been made
and this beginning is steadily widening in its scope.
Eeviewing our own churches, the fields in which we are interested, in which
some form of co-operation has been carried out or attempted, are as follows: —
The West. — In connection with Kitsilano,' Vancouver, we have approached
the Presbytery Home Mission Committee with a view to sharing the services
of a pastor with a neighbouring Presbyterian Church, nothing has as yet come
of this approach.
At Laudis, Sask., negotiations between our Church and the local Presby-
terian Church, with a view to forming a local independent Union Church
have been turned down, the plan making no provision for the care of the
outlying fields connected vrith our Church.
Brandon, Man. — We have approached the Co-operation Committee but
no changes have as yet been possible in Brandon and the matter will come up
later in connection with a general rearrangement in the city.
Ontario. — The Presbyterian Church at Wiarton is, though most people
have forgotten it, a federated church, having joined with our Wiarton Church
over twenty years ago, both churches keeping their membership rolls. A few
members still hold their Congregational connection, but the result has been
practically one united church.
Tilbury and Kincardine have been for some years under the pastorate of
neighbouring Presbyterian ministers but still keep their church organizations
and property as Congregational Churches.
Sheffield United Brethren Church has joined the Presbytery of Hamilton,
linking up with the Kirkwall Church of that Presbytery. They made a con-
tribution of $500 to the funds of their Association for the Ministers' Aid
Fund as a recognition and some measure of fulfilment of their obligations to
the U.B. Association.
Lanark. — Our Church in Lanark has entered into a working arrange-
me'nt vdth the Presbyterian Church of Lanark, by which they share in the
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF CANADA ol
support of the local services but retain their roll, their organization and
property and contribute to our denominational funds.
Quebec. — The Presbyterian Church has made over to the care of our
Brigham Church their church at Farnham Centre, the property still remain-
ing in Presbyterian hands. In similar Avay they have made over to our Water-
ville Church their small cause at Hillhurst, nearby.
The care of the Methodist Churches at Georgeville and Smith's Mills has
now been left for the ensuing year to our Church at Fitch Bay and the
arrangement will probably be permanent.
At Danville our Church and the Presbyterian Church have federated,
each retaining their roll and property, but uniting in local support.^ They meet
for worship in the Congregational Church and the first pastor is a Presby-
terian.
Maritime Provinces. — Xegotiations for some time progressed favourably
for a federation of our St. John Church with a neighbouring Presbyterian
Church, but the Presbyterian Church finally united with a sister Presbyterian.
Church.
Negotiations for federal union at Economy are under way and similar
negotiations have been begun at Margaree, A^■here the care of the Margaree
Valley may be left to our Church.
A readjustment of the South Maitland, Lower Selmah and Noel fields
is being considered but will take time, as it involves both Methodist and Pres-
byterian, as well as Congregational Churches.
In this report the churches referred to are in general only those which
are. under missionary care. No statistics of the movements towards un^cn of
self-sustaining congregations are yet available, though it is known that there
have been a number of such cases.
The coal famine of last winter brought about a number of temporary
combinations of many kinds. In a number of these the co-operation was so
much enjoyed that when summer came the arrangements were continued and
are likely to lead to permanent union.
The needs brought about by the war have also tended to unify the
churches and our report is that the tide of co-operation is setting in strongly
all over the country and is now beginning to show strongly even in the older
Provinces.
It is a matter for thanksgiving to God that we are able to report the
practical elimination of overlapping in all rural districts from New Ontario
to the Pacific. The towns and cities are naturally slower to move, but the
needs of the work of the Christian Church in our cities press us toward the
fullest possible co-operation, and this will be increasingly manifest as the
time passes.
In conclusion your Committee heartily acquiesces in the recommendation
of the Church Union Committee that the whole matter be put under their care.
Eespectfully submitted,
WILLIAM T. GUNN, Chairman.

NOTICE.
It is bcoming more than ever a practice among Christian people to recognize
the Lord 's portion in their Last Wills and Testaments, whereby, though they be
dead, they speak and act in the furtherance of Missionary, Educational and
Benevolent objects. American Congregationalists are among the most wise and
generous in this day, and have left legacies of blessing for succeeding genera-
tions. Among the members of our Congregational churches in Canada there
have also been those who have followed a likewise generous course.

SIXTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CANADA CONGREGA-
TIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY, 1917-18.
The year has been one of mingled lights and shadows with the light
predominating. The Churches have stood the strain of war-time finely.
The contributing churches have kept up the flow^ of generosity vrell in
view of the many calls of the present. The Missionary Churches have
done good work and in a large number of cases made good progress.
Among the bright parts of the year's work are the following. The
increased grant, which we made to all the churches paying salaries with
a challenge that they meet the amount of the increase with a similar
amount was in almost all cases accepted and the result has been
an acceptable addition to the salary of a number of our home missionaries.
First Church, Vancouver, and First Church, Calgary, have both con-
siderably improved during the year. The New Sweden Church, Alta., has
again united with the Lewisville Church in calling a pastor and will be able
to do without aid in the future.
The Naseby field has also, under a permanent man, made plans for
soon coming to self support.
To our Russo-German work we have added a new pastor, Rev. G. J.
Rieker, at Leader, making six missionaries in this work.
A fine new church at Leader, also a comfortable parsonage built
with the old church building at a cost altogether of nearly $4,000, all
paid for in one season, mark considerable progress. New churches have
also been built at Walsh and Forres.
Beginning our survey of the fields in the East, — the Maritime Pro-
vinces. In Margaree, Cape-)Breton, the church under Rev. J. H. Sulston has
had a good year, meeting our challenge and increasing the salary. There
40 CONGREGATIONAL YKAR BOOK.
are hopes here of a federation which will leave the whole valley to our
care.
At Economv Mr. C!ampbcll Tavener has been in charge and negotiations
are now proceeding with a view to federating this field with the Presby-
terian Churches at Upper Economy and Five Islands. Across the Bay the
Maitland, Lower Selmah and Noel fields have suffered much from removals
and have lost their pastor, Eev. A. E'. Mann, who moved to Scotland, Ont.
The Kingsport Church, under Rev. H. G. Wright, also accepted our
challenge and so increased the salary. They are this year to entertain
the Maritime Union.
Pleasant River, under Rev. Geo. W. Ball, in spite of removals accepted
our challenge to increase the salary and the work is encouraging. liiverpool
extended two calls during the year but has not yet secured a pastor.
Milton has also been closed during this time and has been much weakened
by death and by removals.
St. John, N.B., held services with Calvin Presbyterian Church all
last ■Ranter and negotiations toward federation were proceeding happily,'
but unfortunately these negotiations were this Spring terminated by the
action of the Calvin people and the church is for the summer under the
care of Student Lloyd.
Quebec. Fitch Bay, under Student Hughes, is planning improvements
to their building which will cost them about $500 and Student Hughes has
lately taken over the supply of the Methodist Church at Georgeville, some
five miles away.
Ayer 's Cliff, under Rev. Churchill Moore, has grown at Ayer 's Cliff,
but the Boynton field has decreased and the pastor is planning to open up
work at Brown 's Hill.
Union Coloured Church, Montreal, met our challenge and added to the
stipend of Rev. A. E. Gregory, who reports a difficult winter owing to a
cold building and poor coal supply, difficulties which other churches also
shared.
Amherst Park, Montreal, under Rev. R. J. Haughton, has passed through
a difficult winter on account of local troubles and friction. The Union
Church, at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, which ministers under Rev. Norman
McLeod to the village and to the students of McDonald College, has had
a good year and will now have added to its work the care of soldiers in
the large new hospital to be built near by.
Ontario. It is matter of great regret that the working agreement
which for thirteen months brought together First and Bethel Churches,
Kingston, has just been dissolved and Rev. T. DeC. Rayner will now serve
First Church only.
Calvary Church, Kingston, under Rev. John Lyall, met our challenge to
raise the salary and is doing good work but is handicapped in growth by
the migratory character of the working population in the neighbourhood.
Barrie Church keeps loyally on under Rev. Wm. Hipkin, and the
Churchill Church reports a good year, it being now supplied by the Baptist
minister from Acton.
Hamilton Immanuel has been supplied for the year by Mr. F. Chorley,
who is a supply licensed by the Western Association. The work has grown
and the prayer meetings have largely increased. Woodstock was under the
charge of a student for the summer and had local supply during the
winter but has decided to close and has deeded the property over to the
Missionary Society. It was felt that in view of Church Union and that
within two short blocks were two large Churches, a Methodist and a
Presbyterian, that the \evy large grant necessary to keep our Church
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY 41
open was not justified. There are at present prospects for a sale of the
building.
Stratford recalled a former pastor, Eev. George A. Mackenzie, and
has enjoyed his service. Forty-one have been added to the Church during
the year.
North Western Provinces.
Brandon. This church has had student supply and lately the service
of Eev. F. W. Westwood, a Chaplain invalided home and now living in
Brandon. The morning service has been reopened and both services are
encouraging.
Carleton Union, under Dr. Ealph, has put up a new building near
Chellwood and met our challenge, largely increasing their support to
the pastor. Landis continues its self support and is working well. Naseby,
Crane Creek and Cando are now under Mr. Eobert Holloway. Since his
settling this spring the three churches have made considerable strides
toward self-support and are planning this year to put up on the Cando lot
by the church a small parsonage.
Cajgary First has considerably improved. Freedom from the carrying
of the old site and a revival in the life of the city have all helped and
the pastor, Eev. P. V. Samson, declining a call East, is 5.-, ing himself
heartily to the work.
Vancouver First, under the care of Eev. A. E. Cooke, has very noticeably
improved in its outlook. The congregations have increased and the prospects
are good. The pastor has suffered from illness, necessitating an operation,
but with restored health anticipates a growing work.
Kitsilano has during the last year had only supply services and though
the supply was good the church felt the lack of pastoral oversight in a
changing community. The little group struggled loyally through last year
and met their share of the expense but felt unable to continue. The work
is now under the charge of a joint committee of the three A^ancouver
churches and it is hoped to arrange for supply, which will give the needed
pastoral work.
Grandview Church has made so much progress under its supply, Eev.
Mr. Goward, that they feel the need of an addition to their building for
their growing Sunday School.
Victoria is still hampered by their very large debt and the fact that
Victoria has not yet shared in any revival of business such as has come
to Vancouver. The members under Eev. Mr. Croucher are holding on
loyally through a hard time.
Swedish Work. The Church at New Sweden near Wetaskiwin has
just lost their pastor, Eev. C. G. Anderson. They have now resolved to
unite in support of a pastor with their former partner, the Lewisville
Church, which joined the Mission Friends, on condition that neither church
accepted help from outside.
At Highland Park the church has added a new tower and other improve-
ments to their church. At Meeting Creek we have at last been able to
secure their site. It had been given to them by one who purchased from
the Hudson's Bay Co. but who did not complete his payments. The
Hudson's Bay Co. have now secured title again and sold to us a site 600
by 200 feet, ample for the requirements of the church. Eev. G. A. Sandon
is in charge of these two churches and also of a Sunday School at Beaver
Lake.
Eusso-German work. This work in spite of difficulties of various kinds
has been one of the most active parts of our entire care. Calgary Ebenezer,
under Eev. H. J. Dietrich, has grown steadily. They have four men in
khaki, and contribute well to our patriotic funds. Mr. Dietrich has given
42 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
much time to a valuable superintending of the outside causes. At present
the church is closed on account of an order by the local Chief of Police that
there be no preaching in German.
Eev. F. G. Anhorn has recovered from his break down of last year
and is in charge at Mayton Sunnyslope and Beiseker again. Eev. Eichard
Otto moved to Hanna and took up the care of the two churches in Hand
Hills. The circuit at Hilda and Schuler under Eev. H. Treise came to
self support last year in July, and sent for the Armenian Fund $135.00, the
largest gift of any of our Churches east or west. Leader has made fine
progress, for last fall they built a new church at a cost of $3,600, made
the old church into a comfortable parsonage and paid the whole cost.
Their new pastor, Eev. G. J. Eieker, had not been with them a month
till, in December last, they had revival services with many happy addi-
tions to the church.
Eev. Elias Bernstein has built two new churches on his field at Forres
and Walsh, and has now moved to live at Maple Creek.
The missionary givings of these churches have been, during the year,
marked by the same generosity as in previous years.
tSe geoege eobeetson evangelistic fund.
This Fund has again guaranteed the expense of evangelistic services
to several of our churches. A special series of evangelistic meetings in
our Maritime Provinces had been planned, but owing to the illness of the
evangelist could not be held. ^
We stand ready at any time to aid our Churches in evangelistic work
and no reasonable ex2:)euse should stand in the way of any church holding
such meetings whenever desirable.
THE CHUECH EXTENSION AND BUILDING FUND.
With the income from this Fund we have again been able to help
largely our churches in the West, churches which without this help would
have been compelled to go under. We have been helping the First in
Vancouver, and are gratified at its progress. We have helped the Victoria
Church and have been making jilans which may help it still further.
Concerning property in our hands. Zion Church, Toronto, is still let,
no acceptable offer of j^urchase having been received. The Wetaskiwin
farm is still in our hands. Ottawa South property is also rented. We
have been able to rent Cordova Hall, the old Knox Church propertj^ in
Vancouver, for a rent which will at least cover taxes and insurance, there
being no immediate prospect of sale. The Woodstock Church has been
deeded to our Society and may soon be sold.
Thanks largely to the help of Eev. Matthew Kelly the old property in
Fergus has been sold and the proceeds added to the Building Fund capital,
and the Belwood building has been sold while the land will probably be
sold soon.
The deed of the Cando Church has at last been put in our name and
the amount sent us by the Colonial Society for that church has been paid
over to them. We have, as already noted, bought the site in Meeting
Creek for our Swedish Church at that place, a site amply large, thus closing
several years of correspondence and somewhat of anxiety for the little
church.
Change of Treasurer. It was with great regret that the Executive
had to accept, at the end of February, the resignation of our exceedingly
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY 43
efficient Treasurer, Mr. Gordon H. O 'Hara, whose change to New York,
where he serves with the British Ministry of Shipping, made it impossible
to continue his work for the Society. We have greatly benefited, in his
years of service, from Mr. O 'Hara 's careful watch over the funds of the
Society, his very deep interest in its welfare and from the great amount of
work he put into everything which would promote its interests. We trust
that at some future time we may have him back wdth us again.
In the meantime we have the pleasure of introducing to our supporters
the new Treasurer, Mr. Frank G. Ellis, of Montreal, already well known
to our churches through his treasurership of the Union, and in Montreal
through his faithful and hearty service in Zion Church. We trust that the
new Treasurer will receive the same support that has been so loyally given
by our Churches in the past to his predecessors.
Thanks. We owe as ever a debt of gratitude to the Colonial Missionary
Society. They have added to their gifts during the year, transferring to
the Calgary Church a portion of the support formerly given to Brandon, and
again, in response to a special appeal, making a special grant of £60 per
year, this to go as a well earned addition to the salary of Eev. Mr. Samson
of the Calgary Church.
We owe a never ending gratitude to our faithful fo!low-v/orkers of
the Woman's Board, who have not only helped to fill our treasury, but in
many kindly gifts have helped our lonely workers in many ovttlying
mission fields.
Co-operation. We record with gratitude the growing co-operation
between the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches and our own, a co-
operation that has already saved to the Mission Funds of the three Churches
many thousands of dollars and enabled the churches, in these days when the
war has so depleted the ranks of the ministry, to minister to fields which
would otherwise have been without preaching.
The co-operation of the three Churches in the production of the Home
Mission textbook, ' ' His Dominion, ' ' saved them some hundreds of dollars.
It will be of interest to the Society to know that the second edition of
"His Dominion," 3,000 copies in addition to the first edition of 5,000
has already been printed and largely sold. At the request of the three
denominations our Secretary has just completed a Junior text book on the
same lines as * ' His Dominion, ' ' and this book, ' ' Talks on the Land of
the Maple," with missionary pageants, dialogues, recitations, and illustrated
material, will be available for junior study classes and mission bands within
the next fortnight. The publication of such a book by our own Society
alone would have been prohibitive in cost, but the co-operation will enable
the book and extra material to be sold with profit to each Society at fifty
cents postpaid.
Your Executive would express their thanks to the faithful workers in
our missionary churches and to the givers who have made our work possible.
We are coming in these days to recognize that no democracy is safe till all
its citizens are intelligent and more, — ^filled with the spirit of Christ.
Thanks to the growing fellowship among our Canadian Churches we can
give all of our time to producing that result, and Home Missions are taking
their place as the most fundamental and vital activity in the formation
of a safe Christian nation in our land.
On behalf of the Executive.
Kespectfully submitted,
WILLIAM T. GUNN.
44 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
REPOET OF THE EDUCATIONAL SECRETARY FOR 1917-18.
Through another year we have been "carrying on" in the usual way.
Our plan of Missionary Education is one which is followed with slight
cTianges from year to year. Through our denominational paper and Home
Missionary Literature we seek to keep the pressing needs of the Home
Missionary Society and the fields under its care constantly before ths
churches. In February we issued ten thousand copies of a pamphlet, ' ' The
Church at the Front and the Church Behind the Front. ' ' These, together
with the usual envelopes, were sent out to the churches. A special pro-
gramme for the Sunday Schools was prepared and sent to the schools for
use on Sunday, March 31st. Instead of following the usual plan of sending
out envelopes for the annual Sunday School offering we this year sent out
six thousand mite boxes for a Lenten offering. Unfortunately, owing to
a mistake of the printer in shipping by freight instead of express, these
were very much delayed and some of the schools did not have a chance
to give them a fair trial. In many of the schools, however, this mite box
offering was a splendid success. The figures of the Treasurer will doubtless
show the results of the Sunday School offerings as a whole compared with
last year.
As a par'o of our work in Home Missionary education we are seeking
to place copies of Dr. Gunn's book, "His Dominion," in the hands of our
ministers and also to circulate it for use in Mission Study classes. We are
glad to say that the work is now in its second edition. Orders for this
work may be left with Miss Alice Arms, Toronto, or with the Educational
Secretary. Book on sale at Union, price, 60c.
Respectfully submitted,
E. LeROY RICE, Educational Secretary.
MISSION FOR IMMIGRANTS AND RETURNING SOLDIERS
A year ago we reported the new title for this department made neces-
sary by the enlargement of our operations to include a welcome at the
discharge station of the hojs who have fought for us and the cause of
liberty and are on their way home again.
This work now practically absorbs all the time of our Chaplain as the
tide of immigration has been reduced to the smallest possible proportions,
the net returns, after deducting the number of returning Canadians and
tourists, showing only 7,757 settlers entering the Port of Quebec during 1917.
Dr. Farquharson has, however, made for himself an increasingly help-
ful place among the officials who greet the returning soldiers. His special
duty is to ascertain the religious persuasion of the men, give them a word
of welcome on behalf of the churches, and then as far as possible send on
the names to their point of ultimate destination. There are many difficulties
incident to uncertainty regarding the latter, but as far as jsossible our
chaplain becomes a link between the soldier and his home church.
For a period of eight months from June, 1917, to the end of February,
1918, the returns of soldiers thus welcomed for the four churches represented
in the united effort were as follows:
Presbyterians 3,245
Methodists 1,697
Baptists 474
Congregationalists 89
Total 5,505
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY
45
Among the many quiet ministrations AYhieh our Chaplain has been able
to give to the men has been a monthly trip to the Convalescent Hospital
at Lake Edward, where there are on the average sixty patients, half of
whom are Protestants. He reports it as being a pretty lonely place and
that the men eagerly welcome visitors who can bring to them cheer and
hope. Sympathetic interest from the outside seems to mean a great deal
to both Catholics and Protestants.
In addition to this Dr. Farquharson speaks of the joy he has had in
conducting open air services among a group of quarantined men and
visiting the hospitals when there have been no chaplains with the troops.
Your Superintendent made two trips to Quebec last summer to keep
in touch with the work and on each occasion was not only deeply impressed
with its importance and the efficient way in which our Chaplain discharged
his duties, but also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities which were
afforded him of addressing the men and talking personally with them.
We expect to continue the co-operative plan and hope that nothing will
intervene to take Dr. Farquharson from the work.

"His devotion to the executive duties, his good judgment in the face of
difficiilt problems added to a busy pastor's work, will not soon be forgotten,
and makes the task of filling the vacancy a hard one.
"We record our gratitude for his help in bringing our mission and
institute to the present efficient condition, and hope that his accurate know-
ledge will still be available to us."

THE THIETY-SIXTH ANNUAL EEPOET OF THE CANADA CONGEE-

EEPOET FOE THE YEAE ENDING MAY 31, 1918.
To the members of the Corporation, The Canada Congregational Foreign
Missionary Society.
Your Committee has much pleasure in presenting the Annual Eeport for
the year 1917-1918.
We acknowledge our indebtedness and express our gratitude to the
Canada Congregational Woman 's Board of Missions for the part they have had
in the work in Africa. We again express our very great appreciation of the
faithful and efficient band of co-workers who are doing so much and such
excellent service on the mission field. We return thanks to the Lord for the
continued good health of the missionaries, for the way in which he has blessed
their labors, and for the answers that have come to the prayers of our workers
in the home field.
This is one of the most encouraging reports presented to this Society,
one that should give great pleasure to all interested in the welfare of our
work. For convenience we deal with Chisamba, Dondi and the Home De-
partment in the order named-

THE CAXADA CONGREGATIONAL FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 57
1. CHISAMBA.
The survey of the year's work begins with Chisamba, for, though other
stations may claim our attention as the years go by and the work extends,
this first centre of our love and prayers, our toil and sacrifices will always
remain very dear to us for the sake of the beloved missionaries whose names
have long been household words.
To speak of Cliisamba as a "Hive of Industry" is to use a figure of
speech quite fitting to the circumstances. The industry is very manifest when
we read the official reports and personal letters from the field.
The work of all the departments has been carried on with remarkable
results notwithstanding the depleted forces at the station.
The Evangelistic work occupies the prominent place it should always
occupy in the life and work of a Mission field. All other departments are
subsidiary to that which points the native Africans to Him who is Saviour
of Africans and Americans alike.
Notwithstanding the lack of an ordained missionary, religious services
have been conducted regularly at the Station and as extensively as possible
at the out-stations. One indication — one among many — of the results produced
is the addition of 36 to the membership of the Church during the year. The
appeal of the workers for an ordained missionary has been frequent and in-
sistent. How much more could be done if we had an Evangelist, is their cry.
The schools have had a most prosperous year. A brief sketch of the
Station schools shows six divisions. The kindergarten, with an attendance of
about 45, is in charge of two native teachers. The kindergarten pupils begin
to read and write, learn vowels, numbers, etc. Grade two, with 35 pupils, and
grade three with 36 pupils, were both in charge of native teachers. The quality
of work done by these native teachers is a matter of comment and congratula-
tion. Grades four, five and six are in charge of the lady missionaries. As
Miss Maggie Melville has been teaching at the Dondi Girls ' Training School
(a change for her if not a rest) , the responsibility for the Station schools,
as well as the oversight of the out-station schools, has fallen upon Miss Helen
J. Melville and Miss Bell. Mrs. Cattell has been of very great assistance in
the schools, having had charge of one of the grades with good results. Miss
M. Wightman of Olivet Church, Toronto, is a visitor at Chisamba, enjoying
"An Adventure in Missions." Her presence has given great pleasure to all
the missionaries, and the help she has given has been highly appreciated.
The Medical Department. The care of this very important department
has again been laid upon Miss Helen J. Melville, in addition to her school
work and other duties. How many of us appreciate the willing service and
the real self-sacrifice of this devoted co-worker"? If there is any way of con-
ferring a degree, or other honor that would express appreciation. Miss Mel-
ville is surely entitled to such recognition.
The Industrial Department. Mr. Cattell has had a very busy year. He
has had charge of the Industrial department, and in addition to this work
has filled the place of Evangelist as far as it was possible for him to take
the place of an ordained man. He has also been Station Treasurer and gen-
eral superintendent. As a suggestion of what is included in this we quote a
sentence from one of Mr. Cattell 's letters: "The work certainly needs an
ordained man to devote all his time to the spiritual needs of the people. You
can imagine me helping to lay brick, or helping to mend a broken tile machine,
or marking boards for a door or something else. A group of natives come
along to have a dispute settled. I am not in the right frame of mind to give
time to it. My mind is on the industrial work." Just how the disputes were
settled does not appear in the letter, but such matters take time and thought
and tact.
That his mind has been on the industrial work is evident from the amount
of work done. The Allan and David Gunn Memorial School has been a centre
58 CONGREGATIONAL TEAR BOOK.
of great interest and expectation at Chisamba, as well as in Canada. It is now
in use, and there is great rejoicing over the fact. Under date February 2,
1918, Mr. Cattell says: — "I am glad to write that to-day we held our first
meeting in our new Boys' Dormitory. It still needs many finishing touches,
but the large central assembly room is finished enough to allow meetings to
be held in it. Every Sunday afternoon I have a men's meeting, and to-day
we had a very inspiring meeting in the new building. We had more than 100
young fellows of an average age of 17 at the meeting, and the tile roof simply
resounded with their hearty singing. ' ' The Sunday Schools and Young
People's Societies that helped raise the funds for this building will be glad
to know their money is doing such good service.
The new school for girls is also nearing completion.
A letter from Mr. Tucker after his Christmas visit to Chisamba, contains
a paragraph concerning these two buildings well worth repeating here:
' ' The first impression made on one by Chisamba was one of pleasant sur-
prise at the two new buildings recently erected. The new dormitory building
is an imposing structure and will be a worthy memorial of the young men
who lost their lives. Dr. Gunn will be specially pleased to see the building
when he comes with the deputation which we all hope will be sent. The
large new school, made possible by a special donation, is also a fine structure.
How such a building can be made possible with such a relatively small grant
of money, is difficult to understand. Mr. Cattell must be given the highest
praise for all that he has done. ' '
We are quite willing to give Mr. Cattell the praise suggested. He has the
ability that gets things done.
We spoke of Chisamba as a " Hive of Industry. ' ' The swarming process
has resulted in the establishment of thirty-five out-station schools and preaching
places. The good work done at these out-stations is indicated in the letter
from Mr. Tucker already mentioned.
He says, ' ' It was a great pleasure to have the opportunity to visit the
Chiyuka work with Mr. Cattell. Chikosi is a worthy successor to Kanjundu
in the chieftainship. It is difficult to see that the work could develop any
better even were Kanjundu alive.
"Whilst at Chiyuka we had a heavy programme of meetings — morning at
six o'clock, about 200 would assemble for prayer and meditation. At three,
500; at night the large meeting house was uncomfortably filled. The Chiyuka
people are full of enthusiasm, and they come near to the ideal African
Christian community, self-supporting and self-propagating.
' ' Whilst we were there applications came for three new out-station schools.
Chikosi 's infiuence is far reaching. The Va Luimbi leave their own chiefs and
come to him to adjust their grievances. This requires much cautious wisdom
on the part of Chikosi, but no doubt such work as he is doing will give added
fame to the advantage of having a school. ' '
To show the largeness of the opportunity before us we quote from the
same letter:
"Kumba has started a new work on the border of another tribe, the Va
Luimbe. We were delighted to find about twenty of this new constituency
in his school, along with the Ovimbundu. Chisamba ought to seriously con-
sider this Va Luimbe work as an integral part of its mission. Let not the
home constituency think there is no further room for large development. As
a matter of fact missionary progress is now just well under way. It always
takes years to dig the foundations. At present there are about 100 out-
stations connected with the whole Mission. Twenty years hence there will
probably be a thousand. ' '
The work of the West Central Africa Mission has been confined, thus far,
to the Ovimbundu people in the districts of Bailundu and Bie. The Va
Luimbe are another large and important tribe of the Bantu race, occupying
THE CANADA CONGREGATIONAL FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 59
the territory east of Chisamba. Their dialect differs in many ways from the
Umbundu. This numerous tribe has been practically untouched by mission- ■
ary work. To open up work among these Va Luimbe people was one of Dr.
Currie 's great desires. Their need was a call to ' ' come over and help us, ' '
and gave him a sense of obligation. The two references in Mr. Tucker's letter
show a distinct step in advance and the beginnings of the evangelization of
another of the great African tribes.
Thus does God open the way and honor the work of his servants.
Chisamba stands for keen foresight, heroic undertaking, wise statesman-
ship, unquestionable success and glorious opportunity. To build upon the
foundation so well laid is a task worth while.
Dondi is destined to fill a most important place in the evangelization of
West Central Africa. Dondi is already giving proof that the prayers of Dr.
Currie and the gifts of the Canadian Congregationalists are not in vain.
The history of your investments would make interesting reading. None
would show greater returns for the amount invested than Dondi.
The first dividend from the investment we have made is a class of 22
graduates, the "First" class of graduates. These 22 young Africans have
finished the first part of their training * * To Evangelize Africa, ' ' and have
been given certificates for their three years of study. After two years of
practical service they will return to the Institute for a further course of two
years. In the meantime they are at work, 22 young natives with such a training
as no other natives of that part of Africa ever before received. Think what
this means for the coming of the Kingdom of God in Africa. Let your
imagination work as for a minute you follow them through the years and
watch the ever widening stream of influence from each of these 22 centres
of Christian life. Your dividends are not merely 22. Your interest is to be
compounded throughout the years.
Nor is that the only significance of ''The First Class." "First" implies
a series. The first class began with 25 and graduated 22. The second class
and the third class are already on the way. Who can say what the number
will be. And we are only at the beginning. The Institute is not yet com-
pleted. Your subscriptions are not yet all in. What will the returns be
when the work is well under way? Who -can estimate the value of Dondi?
Certainly the money invested is but a small fraction of its worth in the in-
terests of a Christian Africa.
These 22 young men, the first fruits of the Dondi Institute, are all filling
positions of responsibility. We must have a list of ' ' Graduates ' ' for future
reference. Seven of the 22 were from Chisamba. "Kangende and Ngungu are
helping in the Chisamba Station schools, Kangende being in the primary de-
partment and Ngungu assisting Miss Bell in the preparatory class for Dondi
Institute. Kacava is in charge of the morning school at the important out-
station of Chiyuka. Heke and Cali are also teaching in the Chiyuka district.
Songuile has gone to the Ondulu district, where he has started a village of
believers seeking to win others to the light. He goes with his mother, who was
the chief wife of Chief Kanjundu, but was one of the several who had to be put
away when he, Kanjundu, became a Christian. Ngungu, Kacava and Songuile
are all sons of Chief Kanjundu. Cilulu is at the Institute as helper in the
school and as typist, in which work he is an expert. ' '
The conviction grows that Principal Tucker is the right man in the right
place. His ability as an organizer was displayed when the course of study
was laid out. His ability to teach and to handle men is certified to by other
missionaries, as well as by the results. He has the patience to attend to
details and the vision that sees the larger issues. He is also an editor.
60 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
translator and writer of books. This postscript to a recent letter speaks for
itself.
"I am just re-editing my 'Life of Christ' in Umbundu, the first edi-
tion of which is exhausted. The Sunday School lessons I prepared have an
advance order of a thousand copies. This will give you an idea of the size
of our reading public. I am also editing a Bible Dictionary to cover about a
thousand pages of two columns. About thirty missionaries have been given
assignments. I .have three typewriters going every day. ' '
We learn to do by doing. That is true of Dondi students, as well as of
the rest of us. They learn to build by doing their part in the erection of the
fine new buildings that are steadily taking shape at the Institute, and at the
Girls' Training School across the Kutatu Kiver. They learn agriculture, brick
and tile making, and other industries by actual and active participation in
the work necessary to develop the various departments of the Institute.
They learn to be missionaries by doing missionary work. Dondi is not
only a scene of activity, it is a centre of activity. Officially there are no out-
stations connected with Dondi. Actually, there are seven out-station schools
and twenty preaching places. These have all been opened up within three
years by the teachers and students, who go out on missionary tours of the
district. At one of these, Kalunda, there are 150 under instruction. At
Ulondo, where Kasova is, there are 80 learning ' ' the words. ' ' Dondi is not a
centre of cold intellectualism, but of warm, enthusiastic, aggressive evan-
gelism. The boys are eager to teach others "the words" by which their own
lives have been enriched.
Dondi stands for efficiency and progress. What the railway means for
the development of the physical resources of West Central Africa, Dondi
-means for the development of the intellectual and spiritual. "Prepare ye the
way of the Lord" might well be taken as its motto.
3. THE HOME DEPARTMENT.
It is a source of great satisfaction to your Committee that we do not
need to repeat the call issued for three years for an ordained missionary. We
have found the right man. We have the pleasure of reporting also that a
doctor has been secured to fill the vacancy made by the retirement of Dr.
MofPatt. We may further report that the Woman's Board are sending out a
new missionary to assist in the school work. This addition to the forces will
give the largest staff we have ever had at Chisamba. There will be plenty
of work to keep them all busy.
The ordained missionary-elect is the Eev. J. Arthur Steed, M.A., B.D., of
Montreal. Mr. Steed is an Englishman by birth, who came to Canada to
attend the Congregational College in preparation for the work of the ministry.
He has completed the course at McGill University, taking first the degree of
B.A., and recently the degree of M.A. He has also completed the course in
theology, having won the Calvary Silver Medal and the Stevenson Gold Medal.
He has also passed the necessary examinations for the degree of B.D. During
his College course Mr. Steed has had a good experience as student pastor of
Crystal Springs Church, Montreal, where his services have been very highly
appreciated, and where he has endeared himself to the hearts of the people.
We are persuaded that in body, mind and spirit, Mr. Steed is highly qualified
for the work to which the Lord has called him.
Mr. Steed is married and will have in Mrs. Steed a help-meet tried and
true. Mrs. Steed is not only a good home-maker, but is also a well qualified
school teacher with experience. Their little son will do his bit, too, as a
missionary.
The Medical Missionary-elect is Mr. Eeuben S. Hall, M.D., a native of
Jamaica. Dr. Hall has had some experience as a teacher and as a chemist.
He is a musician of more than ordinary ability, and has been a willing helper
THE CANADA CONGREGATIOXAL FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 61
in religious work. His medical training was begun at Halifax, but the greater
part of it was taken at McGill, Montreal, where he graduated a year ago.
Plans for an additional course in tropical medicine could not be carried out
now on account of the war, but a special course in surgery was taken at
Halifax.
Dr. Hall is not yet married, but expects to be married to Miss Beatrice
Maud Belnavis, of New York, prior to the time of sailing for Africa in the
Autumn.
Mr. and Mrs. Steed, Dr. Hall and Miss Belnavis are to be commissioned
for service to-morrow evening, Friday, June 7th, 1918.
The new missionary of the Woman's Board is Miss Elizabeth Eead,
daughter of the late Eev. Frank W. Kead and Annie Williams Eead, the latter
so well known to Canadian Congregationalists. Miss Eead was born in
Africa and talked the Umbundu like a native when she was in her native
land. She has doubtless forgotten it in the meantime, but will readily acquire
it again. She is a graduate of the Montreal Schools and of McDonald College
Teacher Training Department, and is well qualified in every way for the posi-
tion to which she was commissioned at the meeting of the Woman's Board, at
Hamilton.
The Lord has surely done great things for us in providing such well
qualified workers for these positions. But that is not all the story.
For three years we have been searching for the man to take the place
made vacant by the removal of Mr. Tucker to the Institute at Dondi. For
three years we have been asking, "Where will the money come from to pay
his salary when he is found f" The salary for a full staff was more than we
had ever been able to raise in any one year.
Moreover, this is war time and there are many demands on all the people.
But there was the urgent need of the man, and here was the man called of
God, so we gladly arranged to send Mr. Steed out to Chisamba as our repre-
sentative and co-worker.
Then the unexpected happened, if ' ' happened " is a good word to use when
speaking of the Lord's business. Where we had fears those fears were re-
buked. Where we exercised faith that faith has been rewarded. The Lord
who provided the man has provided the salary. Mr. Steed will not be ready
to go out for some months, but his first year's salary is in the hands of
our Treasurer, and provision has been made for payment of his salary for the
first five years of his service. Mrs. X., of Montreal, is the Lord's agent in
this providential gift. We call her Mrs. X. because X is used to denote the
unknown quantity, and this generous lady wants her identity concealed for
the present at least. An additional reason for calling her Mrs. X. is that X
has long been used to signify Christ, and she stands for Christ, not only
in the beauty of her service, but also in the spirit of sacrifice that has made
this very timely gift possible.
While Mr. Steed's salary is provided for by this generous action, the
need for money will be greater this year than for several years past. We
must provide for the outfits and travelling expenses of the new missionaries.
This will necessitate a considerable increase in the contributions to the Society.
We express our trust in the Lord and in the people by sending out these very
necessary reinforcements for the staff at Chisamba at this time.
We want all the churches to have a full share in the giving as well as in
the glory attached to the Dondi Institute. We, therefore, urge upon the
churches that have not yet made their contribution to this fund to take the
matter up with vigor as soon as possible.
We submit this report, on behalf of the Committee, thanking the many
friends whose hearty co-operation has made it possible.
James T. Daley,
President.

DEPAETMENT OF PEAYEE UNION, C.G'.F.M.S. 1917-1918.
Eev. A. F. Pollock. Forest, June 1st, 1918.
Dear Mr. Pollock, —
I am seuding a report of the Department of the Prayer Union. My only
regret is that it is so poor and that it is impossible for me to meet with you,
or do anything more just at present. My mother continues very poorly, many
times we think she is going, then rallies. I am so well, myself, that no one
seems disposed to give me a holiday.
I wonder if anyone is looking forward to the Prayer Union report or
even expecting to have one? Yet if we fail to have the work of this depart-
ment carried on, all other work will fail.
Last year, I was privileged to meet with the C.C.W.B.M. at Embro, and
through our beloved Mrs. Eead, our work received special attention. Many
membership cards were given out, still better, many of our women promised
to see that prayer for W.C. Africa be more persistently brought before the
workers in the Auxiliaries. Members have been secured in Guelph, Kitchener,
Embro, Cobourg, Toronto, Montreal, London, Dalston, Orillia and Forest.
Seventy cards have been given out, from some I have not yet had any returns.
Two dollars and fifty cents has been orwarded to the Treasurer.
Everyone is invited to join the Union. There is a simple entrance fee
of ten cents, and you receive a membership card, which you sign and keep
as a continual reminder of your promise. The Prayer Union is a plan for
enlisting people to recognize their fellowship with Christ, in making known
His Gospel to all the world, and secure their promise to pray for the work
of the W.C. Africa Mission. The requirement is simple, and the purpose is
to add the Spirit of Fellowship to individual prayer, and to be a daily reminder
of Africa's need.
' ' Oh, if you could only bring home to the people what it means really
to pray! If only God's people would unite in real prayer for a few minutes
each day, what a difference it would make." (Andrew Murray).
I appreciate the honor you do me in appointing me Secretary of this
department, but feel more and more my unfitness for it. The continued
illness in our home, makes it impossible for me to come personally in touch
with people.
Y'ours very sincerely, Florence B. Eawlings.
EDUCATIONAL SECEETAEY'S EEPOET FOE THE C.C.F.M.S.
It has been the ambition and endeavor of this department during the
past year to keep the educational work of the Society in the forefront, and
while we have not accomplished all that might have been done, we are glad
to report progress along several lines.
Considerable correspondence has received prompt attention during the
year and in co-operation with the Eecording Secretary many items of mis-
sionary interest have occurred from time to time in the Congregationalist.
We have also to report the purchase of 10,000 Foreign Mission Christmas
programmes with supplements from the A.B. Only 5,000, however, were sent
with the explanation that the supply was nearly exhausted, and suggesting that
the number sent might possibly meet the demand. If, however, we needed the
10,000 the order would be filled. We immediately wrote requesting the A.B.
to complete the order, which was done, but they arrived too late for distribu-
tion, and after considerable correspondence they were finally returned to
the A.B. at our expense.
Mrs. Carr, Superintendent of our young people's work, attended to the
mailing of the 5,000 copies, and this was completed the second week in
November.
THE CANADA CONGREGATIONAL FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 63
Missiouaiy envelopes and literature Trere sent out to the churches on the
occasion of the annual offering in November, and a special Foreign Mission
number of the Congregationalist was also circulated at that time by the
Secretary.
Our three sets of slides have all been in circulation. The Chisamba and
Dondi set have been sent to the foUovring churches: — The Vancouver, B.C.,
churches; Broadvievr, Bond, and Western Toronto (an application from Olivet
was also received, but the slides were not available at that time, and no sub-
sequent date has been arranged as yet); Calgary, Alta.; Melbourne; Ulver-
ton; Granby; Zion, P.Q., and Sherkston, Ont., and the following testimonials
are from a number that have been received.
Mrs. A. W. Bead writes: — "The ten new Dondi slides were a surprise
to me, and a delight. I think they are fine, and am sure they will help on
our Dondi campaign. ' '
Eev. J. W. Newbery writes: — "The slides were shown at our church on
Sunday evening, May 26th, and all were delighted and greatly edified. ' '
And Welcome Zion sent this message: — "The pictures were appreciated
very much and came at an opportune time, for our C.E. had just completed
a study of Chisamba Eetold. It was a co-incidence worth noting that no fewer
than three of our boys were born in Africa and were present when the pictures
were shown. Also two ladies, who had resided in Africa, and another boy
whose father had lived there. Surely Welcome Zion ought to send at least
one Missionary to Africa."
The Congregational Shrines set have visited the Hamilton churches,
Gainsboro Field, Sherkston, Western and Bond St. churches, also Eock Island,
and the very highest testimonials have been received regarding the beauty of
the views, and the great educational value of the lecture itself. It deserves
a much wider circulation than it has yet received. Wake up, brethren, and
take advantage of the opportunity of seeing, enjoying and being edified by one
of the best lectures ever offered to our churches.
Child life in far away lands has been exhibited in the Hamilton churches,
and is now on a visit to the Western.
It is interesting to note that Hamilton, first, has had the three sets —
everything available — and this church is conspicuous in our denomination for
its Foreign Mission gifts. It certainly repays us to use every possible means
of education in this great work. We believe the interest in Foreign Missions
is expanding and that in our Sunday Schools, Young People's Societies and
Churches, the work will continue to deepen, until the Great Commission will
be regarded as the chief business of our Congregational Churches.
We recommend the duplex system of giving, frequent Missionary sermons
and prayer meetings, the best Missionary periodicals: — Maps, catechisms.
Missionary conferences, slide material, organized classes, ' ' The Study of
Chrisamba Eetold," "The Lure of Africa," etc., and systematic presentation
of Missionary material in the Sunday School and Young People's Societies.
Pastors and Christian workers, keep the Foreign Mission activities in the fore-
ground; agitate, educate, pray, give, that God's Kingdom may come and His
will be done on earth as in Heaven.
Eespectfully submitted,
A. F. Pollock, Educational Secretary of C.C.F.M.S.
EEPOET OF THE TEEASUEEE OF THE C.C.F.M.S. FOE THE YEAE
ENDING MAY 3Ist, 1918.
At the outset let us strike a note of praise and thankfulness to Him
"Whose we are and Whom we serve," for His goodness during the year just
closed. From the mere human standpoint, it is a most surprising thing that,
64 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
not only in our own denomination, but generally speaking, the missionary and
other benevolent offerings of the people during the period of the war have
not only kept well up to the standard but have even gone beyond those of
past years. But why should we be surprised? The work we are engaged in
is not a human enterprise : it is the Divinely-ordained business of the Church
of Gfod, and it will go on in spite of wars and tumults and the opposition
of the powers of darkness until the message of salvation is carried to the
ends of the earth; and happy are they who have a part — whether by life, by
gift or by prayer — in bringing about the glad day when ' ' all shall know
Him, from the least even unto the greatest. ' ' The power of the Eternal God
is behind this enterprise, and it cannot fail !
You will notice from the report of the General Fund that we commenced
the year with a small balance — $121.00. The contributions for the year,
together with $92.00 from the sale of "Chisamba Ee-told," were $6,178.00,
which is nearly $1,000.00 ahead of last year, and $700.00 ahead of the previous
year. And yet, there were those in our churches who said, "We must curtail
our missionary w'ork during the war. ' ' And these same ' ' fearful saints ' '
were horror-stricken and dumbfounded when the Dondi Campaign was launched,
and they said, ' ' This is such an inopportune time : it will never succeed, and we
shall only bring ridicule upon our work. ' ' But you know the result !
Add to these receipts the Scholes legacy, which by resolution was trans-
ferred to the General Fund, and we find a total income of $10,240.00.
Included in these receipts is one gift of $1,300.00 from one who wishes
the name withheld. The donor writes to the Treasurer, "It will be enough
to say that a lover of Chisamba thanks the Lord for this privilege of service. ' '
This is given especially for the support of Mr. Stead and his family, and is
the first of five annual payments. The letter continues, ' ' I know that they
cannot go forward till early next year, but now is the time when the Lord
has made it possible for me to do this that has been on my heart for many
years. . . . It is indeed a great joy to me that the desire of my heart is
being fulfilled, and I will pray most earnestly that God will bless these
new missionaries and make them a great blessing in Africa. ' ' This prayer
is not one of mere empty words: it has good backing in deeds. Let me
tell you in confidence that this gift comes not from one who might be called
wealthy according to this world's reckoning, but from one of very moderate
means; and there is a story conected with it which shows how wonderfully
God works, and how He touches the hearts of His stewards. Listen! One
who was used of God as His messenger between this donor and the Society
writes, — ' * ' One soweth and another reapeth, ' — ' Other men laboured, and ye
have entered into their labours,' — 'He that soweth and he that reapeth shall
rejoice together. ' How wonderful that the seed shown by Mrs. Moodie,
Dr. Warriner and Dr. Hill through the Prayer Union nearly twenty-five years
ago is bearing fruit now, and God is letting me be the harvester, — me, who
had no share in those early days! My heart is full indeed. . . . God
grant the gift may challenge more sacrificial giving ! ' ' Through the Prayer
Union! How prone we are to minimise the power of prayer! Hudson Taylor
once ejaculated, "How important to learn to move men through God by
prayer i " "Ye helping together by prayer." We can share in this ministry.
Eeferring again to the printed report, you will see that the payments
out of the General Fund are shown in detail on the opposite side, and we now
have a balance on hand of $2,334.00 and the last account rendered by the
American Board paid in full. This account includes salaries and other station
expenses to December 31st, 1917, only, and everything else to April 30th,
1918. The Budget for the coming year amounts to $9,131.00. This reminds
us that we must bend every energy to increase our giving to meet the needs
which are before us.
THE CANADA CONGREGATIONAL EOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY 65
Now for the Designated Objects. The balance of $445.00, with which
the year commenced, all belonged to Gunn Memorial School. Contributions
for various special objects amounted to $847.00, while the usual income from
investments in the Hine and Treeland Trusts was $921.00. These investments,
and the Scholes legacy as it came to us, are as folows: —
Hine Trust — Cost Present Value

Home Inv. & Savings Asso'n 5% bonds 3,800 00 3,900 00
(Cost includes brokerage.) $19,752 07 $19,272 50
It is a matter for congratulation that the only non-dividend-bearing invest-
ment is Brazilian stock, and this because of adverse exchange conditions
incident to the war.
The usual $1,000.00 has been transferred from the General Fund to the
Furlough Fund.
The payments out of the Designated Account have been made according
to direction, — $1,789.00 for our own mission and $424.00 for other work.
$500.00 was previously remitted for the Gunn Memorial School, and now there
has been a further remittance of $519.00. $400.00 or 500.00 more is necessary,
however, to complete this school building, and it is hoped our friends will
bear this in mind.
The balance of $22.00 on hand belongs to the Furlough Fund.
Now for Dondi. With a balance brought forward of $4,163.00, and
contributions of $9,784.00, we have a total credit of $13,948.00. $4,000.00
of this has been sent forward: the Scholes Legacy of $3,940 transferred to the
General Fund, a few minor expenses incurred, and we have a balance of
$5,708.00 on hand. Up to date, $18,734.00 has been remitted for the Insti-
tute, which, with the cash on hand, makes $24,442.00.
The grand total of receipts for the year is $17,732.00, as compared with
$19,369.00 last year. However, if we leave out miscellaneous and personal,
the total is 1,000.00 in excess of last year's amount, and over 100 churches
have participated. The giving by Associations is shown at the bottom of
the sheet.
A review of the individual churches is interesting. Montreal Emmanuel
again takes first place with $2,576.00. Toronto Northern is second with
$1,298.00. Melbourne, Que., comes next with $1,098.00, but this includes
$1,000.00 from the estate of the late Mrs. H. P. Wales. Then comes Hamilton
First, $1,023.00. Toronto Olivet gave $955.00 (with $25.00 too late to report),
Toronto Bond St. $855.00 (plus $200.00 received too late to report), Toronto
Broadview $580.00, Cobourg $442.00, Winnipeg Crescent $425.00. Then follow
Brantford $380.00, Montreal Calvary $367.00, Little Maxville $347.00 (and
$313.00 more since received,— $658.00 in all), and little Scotland $279.00,
then Granby $257.00, Stratford $200.00, Kitchener and Freeport $172.00,
Toronto Western $170.00, Paris and Guelph $136.00 each, Montreal Zion
$134.00, Montreal Union Church $115.00, Ottawa . Welcome-Zion $111.00.
But let none of these churches boast of their large giving. The above are
66 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK,
no more deserving of special mention than many others, "whose property
abounded unto the riches of their liberality." The mission churches of the
"West have shared in this work as never before, the Russo-German Church
in Calgary and little churches, which most of us probably never heard of
before, (such as Three Hills, Hanna, Schuler, Hilda, Westerham, Chellwood,
Crane Creek, Malmo), these and others are partners with us in this great
enterprise (in two instances I received collections taken at weddings), and
Mrs. Currie's little Sunday School Class, meeting in her own home, known
as Chisamba in British Columbia, has also had a part in this work of the
Kingdom.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS TO THE COR-
PORATION OF THE CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA.
Montreal, June 3rd, 1918.
The Board of Governors has pleasure in presenting its annual report for
1917-1918. There are included as part of this report the annual reports to
the Board of the Senate, Librarian, House Committee, Ladies' Auxiliary,
Treasurer.
The Board had the privilege of securing as special lecturer in Homiletics
during the past session. Rev. Prin. Ritchie, D.D., of Nottingham, England.
The quality of his services was greatly appreciated and led to the desire of
securing him as Principal of the College. An invitation to such effect was
unanimously tendered him. Owing to war conditions, however. Dr. Ritchie
felt that his sense of duty compelled him to remain in the Old Country.
No other attempt has been made to fill the position.
Towards the close of the session the Presbyterian College was taken
over for military purposes.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA 83
It was a pleasure to your board, vinder these circumstances, to tender
the hospitality of the building to the Presbyterian students — an arrangement
which worked out very happily all round.
It is pleasing to the Board to announce that one of our own distin-
guished alumni, Eev. Hugh Pedley, D.D., has been appointed special lecturer in
Homiletics to our own College and to the students of the co-operating College
for the coming Session.
The Governors who retire at this meeting are Messrs. T. B. Macaulay,
Henry O'Hara, Eev. J. T. Daley, B.A.
The Board records its gratitude in the recovery of Dr. Warriner, acting
Principal, following a very serious operation. The Board in this connection
also records very appreciatively the kindly action of co-operating Professors
of the sister Colleges in voluntarily assuming the obligations incidental to
his work during Dr, Warriner 's illness.
Eespectfully submitted,
Alex. McA. Murphy,
Ron. Secretary.
Montreal, June 3rd, 1918.
To the Governors of the Congregational College of Canada:
Gentlemen: — The House Committee has pleasure in reporting that the
property is in good condition and that the administration of the building has
been conducted harmoniously and well, though at considerably advanced cost.
In the event of the building being occupied by students during the
coming season it will be necessary that the rooms be renovated ; this, however,
will not involve any considerable cost.
It will be advisable this year to repair the roof and shed.
The Steward and Stewardess have again fulfilled their duties with satis-
faction.
Eespectfully submitted,
Chas. Gurd,
Chairman.
THE SENATE EEPOET FOE THE YEAE ENDING APEIL, 191S.
THE SEVENTY-EIGTH SESSION.
The last session — the fourth since the beginning of the war, and the
seventy-eighth in the history of the College — has been one of quiet and per-
sistent endeavour, and, in spite of the peculiar difficulties under which we
have laboured, it has not been without elements of special interest or a due
measure of success.
Students.
The enforcement of the Military Service Act just when the students
were settling down to their studies caused considerable inconvenience and
anxiety because of the medical examinations and consequent interference with
regular attendance upon classes. But that was soon over and the men got
down to business. It had no other effect. The men who could serve had
already enlisted.
We have now twelve men in khaki. Four of them have won commis-
sions. Two have been wounded, viz.: Lieut Oliver S. Craik, and Lieut. God-
frey Cooper. The latter has been invalided back to Canada. We cannot
technically rank the late Lieut. Eobert Fairgrieve among our men, since he
had left the college and spent a year at Yale, but he was hoping to complete
his course with us and had opened up correspondence to that end with the
Eegistrar only a few weeks before receiving his fatal wound. He was six
84 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
years with ns and had received the degree of B.A. from McGill so that we
may rightly regard him as one of the contributions of this College to the
service of his country.
We were left with five men in attendance. In addition to these another
was conducting an extra-mural course while ministering for the winter to a
rural church. Three missionary pastors passed examinations in the Union
Eeading Course, while two of our graduates successfully prosecuted studies in
the course for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.
Special Lecturers.
The first term of the College year was greatly enlivened and enriched by
the presence of Principal D. L. Eitchie, of Nottingham, England. Mr.
Eitchie not only lectured and conducted classes in Homiletics to the satis-
faction of the students and professors of the four co-operating Colleges, but
also gave much of his time, evening after evening, to the individual en-
couragement and instruction of the students. Living in the College as he
did our own men were specially favoured.
At a special Convocation the degree of Doctor of Divinity lionoris causa
was conferred upon him, not only as a mark of our appreciation of the
services he had rendered to our own Churches and Colleges, but also of his
distinguished position as an educator, preacher, and author in the Mother
Land.
Another special lecturer was the Eev. Hugh Pedley, D.D., who conducted
the classes of the four colleges in Pastoral Theology. Dr. Pedley 's work
was under the auspices of the Presbyterian College, but it is a matter of
congratulation that a distinguished graduate of this College and a member
of its Governing Board should have been chosen by the authorities of an-
other denomination for this important work. It is also with pleasure that we
report that Dr. Pedley will next session add to his work in Pastoral
Theology, the care of Homiletics, the latter in behalf of our own College, but
for the students of all the four Colleges.
Inter-Denominational Fellowship.
The brotherly feeling which has characterized the co-operative movement
in Montreal since its inception has found new modes of expression this year,
two of which deserve particular mention. First, when your Acting Principal
was unable, through illness, to attend to his duties, his work in the co-
operative College was cheerfully undertaken by Principal D. J. Fraser, of
the Presbyterian College, and again when the military authorities took over
the buildings of the Presbyterian College for a hospital, our College was able
to provide a home for its students, to the mutual pleasure and profit, we be-
lieve, of the students of each College.
Examinations and Awards.
The regular Christmas and Sessional examinations were held with good
results considering, the broken and interrupted character of the session. Mr.
E.. b.. Taunahill, B.A., and Mr. J. A. Steed, B.A., also carried on work in
the course for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. The latter, Mr. Steed,
successfully completed the course, and the degree was formally conferred
upon him at the Annual Convocation. These two students also successfully
prosecuted courses in McGill University, looking to the degree of Master of
Arts. Mr. Steed completed his course anil the degree was conferred upon
him at the University Convocation in May..
It is gratifying to know that, though the number of students attending
was small, the best traditions of the College as to scholarship have been
maintained.
CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE OF CANADA
Convocation.
The Convocation was held in Emmanuel Church on the 18th of April,
when the awards and diplomas were presented. To Mr. J. E. Lloyd of the
junior year was awarded the Charles Alexander Bursary ; to Mr. G. H. Knigh-
ton of the middle year, the Maria Sawtell Memorial Scholarship, and to
Mr. Wm. Paley and Mr. J. A. Steed, B.A., who formed the graduating class,
a Eobert Anderson Bursary. Mr. Steed also won both the Calvary Church
medal in Church History, and the John Frederick Stevenson Medal for the
highest standing in the final year.
We were honored with the presence of the Eev. James L. Barton, D.D.,
Secretary of the American Board of Missions, who gave the Convocational
address. His theme was ' ' Christianity the Hope of a Ee-organized World. ' '
Outlook,
The war has not only taken men out of our classes; it has also hindered
men from entering who otherwise would have done so. How long this de-
pletion of the ranks of men looking to the ministry will go on no one can
foretell. But the seriousness of the situation created no one can deny. It means
that for years to come our churches will most probably suffer a great short-
age in the number of men thoroughly trained for the ministry. It is a
situation affecting all branches of the Christian Church alike. All the more
important therefore is it that ministers and churches should be on the lookout
for bright and promising youths under military age who will at once begin
the work of preparation. We would also emphasize the fact that we have a
Preparatory department in which men without high school training, and who
are physically unfit for the hardships of military service, may yet prepare
for a life-work not a whit less noble or necessary, and calling for not less
heroism or self-sacrifice.
In association with other theological coleges in Montreal we are en-
deavoring to make our courses increasingly efiicient in courses along what
are generally known as practical lines as clistinguished from the purely aca-
demic, not that we disparage in any way historic, philosophic or linguistic
studies, but are placing increased emphasis on those lines of discipline which
are specially calculated to fit men for practical leadership in the varied
activities of the modern church. Among the latest efforts in this direction
may be mentioned the fact that the Joint Board is now co-operating with
the authorities of McGill to maintain a special department in the University,
to be known as the Department of Social Service. An effort is also being
made looking generally to rural betterment and the encouragement of rural
pastors in their effort to uplift and guide the moral and intellectual life
of the communities in which they labour. To this end arrangements have
been made for our colleges to co-operate with Macdonald College at St. Anne's,
Quebec, in holding a Summer School for ministers, specially rural pastors.
This school will be conducted for two weeks early in August. The Joint
Board is prepared to meet the expenses incurred while at St. Anne's of a
certain number of the graduates of this college who will faithfully attend the
classes. Application to be made to the Eegistrar of this College.
We have also to report that negotiations are also under way looking to
the co-operation of the four colleges in the Khaki University which is being
projected for the benefit of Canadian soldiers in England during the period
of demobilization. Our interest of course will be in the theological depart-
ment, and our concern will be to help to train men, not alone for the
Christian ministry, but also for other forms of Christian service.
Another interesting development relates to the proposed admission of
women to our classes in preparation for those various forms of church ser-
86 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
vice for -nhich they are specially suited. The Senate is most heartily in
sympathy with this movement, and will do all in its power to further it.
There appears to be some demand for it, if not at present among our own
churches, yet in those communities with which we are co-operating, and when
once the opportunity is provided the demand will probably grow.
We trust that these innovations will commend themselves to the hearty
approval of the churches, and that the College will ever have a foremost
place in their affections and in their prayers.
Respectfully submitted,
W. Henry Warriner,
Acting Principal.
LIBEARIAN'S EEPORT FOE THE YEAE ENDING MAY 31, 1918.
To the Board of Governors:
Gentlemen: — Few additions have been made to the library during the past
year — some twenty-nine volumes only, and these all by purchase. But the
central library has been enriched by the addition of a large and choice selec-
tion of books bearing upon Foreign Missionary work. This special Missionary
Library, which has been procured by the Joint Board, has been made acces-
sible to the Women's Missionary Societies of the different denominations
in Montreal. An appropriation has also been made for securing lantern slides
for missionary lectures. Another notable addition to the Central Library is
a collection of books bearing on the question of church federation and union.
The Presbyterian students, rooming in our College and not having access
to their own library, of course enjoyed the privilege of using ours on the same
terms as our own students.
The thanks of the Librarian are again due to Mr. E. T>. Tannahill, B.A.,
for his valuable assistance in the care and distribution of the books.
The financial statement, herewith attached, shows a balance on hand of
$75.20.

EEPOET OF THE LADIES' AUXILIAEY OF THE CONGEEGATIONAL
COLLEGE— YEAE ENDING MAY 30th, 1918.
The demands during the first half of the year were light owing to the
small number of students occupying rooms. Later on, when the Presby-
terian College was given over to the Government for war purposes, we were
glad to open the doors of our College to her students, endeavouring to make
them comfortable and happy, and to foster the spirit of good fellowship,
which already exists among the students of the various Colleges. At the
close of the year we find that money is needed to replenish the dining room
and kitchen. The Ladies' Committee earnestly ask those churches which have
not given to this work of late, to make an effort to do so NOW, in order that
the work may be done and expenses met before the opening of the College
in the Autumn. We realize that the demands are many these days, but with
all our giving let us not forget our College, which is the source of supply
to the churches.

The Treasurer has to report a considerable decrease in the collections

On behalf of the Trustees' Endowment Fund I have to report receiving
the legacy of the late Francis Scholes, amounting to $23,265.00; of this amount
$9,000.00, less succession duty, was special legaey -without -any ^designation
as to object. With the approval of Mr. C. E. Black, the executor of the
estate, $8,000.00 was applied to pay off the mortgage on the Principal's resi-
dence, and the balance was applied to the old debt of $2,400.00, borrowed many
years ago from the Endowment Fund for current account. This old debt,
with the addition of an amount from current revenue, is now wiped out.
The net balance of $14,400.00 of the legacy has been added to the Endowment
Fund.

THE CONGEEGATIONAL UNION OF NOVA SCOTIA AND NEW
BRUNSWICK.
Chairman — Capt. Geo. Doty, Yarmouth.
Secretary — Rev. E. J. Thompson, Keswick Ridge.
Treasurer — Mr. J. W. Flewwelling.
Statistical Secretary — Rev. H. G. Wright.
Union Committee — The Officers together with Revs. G. W. Ball, D. C.
Mcintosh, W. E. Gilroy, B.A., Dr. Gunn, A. Anthony, Geo. Anthony, F.
Anthony, G. Dexter, Chas. Darning, F. G. Purnell, C. Tavener, J. E. Lloyd,
0. Davidson, and W. F. Newcombe.
The Seventy-first Annual Meeting of the Congregational Union of Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick was held at Kingsport, N.S., June 19th-23i'd.
At 8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 19th, a devotional meeting was led by the
Chairman, the Rev. H. G. Wright. The Union was called to order at 8.15
p.m., when on the motion of the Secretary the minutes were taken as read.
After hearing the report of the Programme Committee, the Chairman nomin-
ated Messrs. F. G. Purnell and C. Tavener as Minute Secretaries, and the
Rev. E. J. Thompson and Mr. J. W. Flew^w^elling as the Nominating Com-
mittee.
Mr. W. F. Newcombe, deacon of Kingsport Church, extended a very
hearty welcome to the delegates and friends, and on behalf of the church
expressed the hope that the meetings would be mutually advantageous.
In the unavoidable absence of the Rev. J. W. Cox, B.A., the Rev. E. J.
Thompson made a suitable reply in behalf of the Union. After the singing
of a solo by Mrs. Otto, the Chairman gave his address on ' ' The Church
and the Challenge of the Future. ' ' The address was worthy of the occa-
sion, and was received as a timely message. "The future," said the
speaker, "challenges the church because of its problems and because of its
possibilities. ' ' The new democracy is a problem, and the new morality and
questions of a social character. These problems will never be solved by the
political world. The church must lead the way. The offering at this meeting
was taken for the Union funds.
Thursday, June 20th.
At 9.30 a.m. the devotional meeting was led by Mr. F. G. Purnell. Busi-
ness was resumed at 10 a.m., when the minutes were read and approved. The
Nominating Committee then submitted their report as follows: — •

Finance — Mr. J. W. Flewwelling, Capt. Geo. Doty, and Mr. A. Anthony.

F. Anthony.

By resolution of the Union the report was adopted:

the Secretary moved the following sit as corresponding members of the
Union: Rev. W. E. Gilroy, B.A., Dr. Gunn, Thos. A. J. Prosser, S. Wood-
roofe, H. J. Eraser, G. A." Grant, D. C. Mcintosh, Messrs. F. G. Purnell, C.

statement, and the Secretary read the statistical report, which had been sent
THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OF N.S. AND N.B. 93
by the Eev. J. Sulston. These were followed at 11.00 a.m. by the reports of
the churches. Many of these were of a very encouraging nature, and all
breathed an air of optimism.
Before adjourning the Union listened to fraternal greetings brought by
the Eev. A. J. Fraser from the Baptist churches, who were holding their asso-
ciation meetings. The Chairman acknowledged the same and expressed the
thanks of the delegates. The Union adjourned at 12.00 noon.
Business was resumed at 2.30 p.m. After the reading of the minutes,
the Eev. E. I. Thompson reported for the Business Committee as follows:

Mr. C. Tavener then gave a very interesting paper on ' ' The Sunday
School ' ' from the standpoint of the friend of children. The paper was very
suggestive but discussion was made impossible by the pressure of business.
The Eev. W. E. Gilroy pronounced the benediction, and the Union ad-
journed to permit the Union Committee to meet to discharge important business.
The evening session opened with a praise service led by the Eev. H. G.
Wright. The church was well filled with people who listened to a very inspir-
ing address from the Eev. W. E. Gilroy, B.A., who spoke on ' ' The Catholicity
of Indejiendenee. " " The religion of Jesus, ' ' said the speaker, " is a wide
religion and the supreme sin of to-day is sectarianism. ' '
The Eev. Dr. Gunn gave an address on Home Missions. The offering was
taken for the College.

Sunday, June 23rd.
The services on Sunday were largely attended. In the morning the Eev-
G. W. Ball preached from 1 Kings, 15th chapter, 22nd verse, and his subject
was "Putting Things to New and Nobler Uses." This was a very beauti-
ful and uplifting service. At 2.30 the primary department of the Sunday-
School gave a programme entitled," Earth 's Fairest Flowers." Mr. J. W,
Flewwelling presided, and addresses were given by Messrs. F. G. Purnell and
J. E. Lloyd. At 8.00 p.m. the church was filled to its utmost capacity.
The service took the form of an ordination service, the candidate being Mr.
F. G. Purnell in charge of the Church at Brooklyn. The service was of an
unusually helpful character. The Eev. W. T. Gunn, D.D., prayed the ordain-
ing prayer, the Eev. E. J. Thompson gave the charge to the pastor, and the
Eev. D. C. Mcintosh the charge to the people. The Chairman then extended
the right hand of fellowship to Mr. Purnell and welcomed him to the Union.
Before closing thanks were moved by the Eev. D. C. Mcintosh to the
pastor and people of Kingsport Church for their hospitality. The delegates
joined hands and sang, "Blest be the Tie That Binds." The Secretary
then moved that the Union stand adjourned till 1919, and the benediction
was pronounced by the Chairman.

CONDENSED MINUTES OF THE THIRTY-SECOND ANNUAL
MEETING OF THE C.C.W.B.M.
The thirty-second annual meeting of the Canada Congregational Women 's
Board of Missions convened in the First Congregational Church, Hamilton, on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, May 28th, 29th and 30th, 1918. There
were eighty-five registered delegates.
The first session of the conference was held on Tuesday evening and took
the form of a conference on missionary work amongst the young. Mrs. F.
W. Read presided and gave a talk on our missionary catechisms. Miss Read,
Mrs. Crowe and Mrs. E. A. Gale made many excellent suggestions re the
best methods for work.
The Executive met on Wednesday morning from 9 to 9.45 o 'clock.
On the recommendation of the Executive, Mrs. John H. Wickson and
Mrs. A. Robertson were appointed Minute Secretaries, and the various com-
mittees for the convention were chosen.
The reports of the superintendents of the several departments were most
encouraging and told of a year of increased work. The officers and super-
intendents were all re-elected with the_ exception of Mrs. Hume as Vice-
President, Mrs. Crowe, of Guelph, being elected in her place, and Miss Helen
M. Wright, of Montreal, Avas appointed Supt. of Associate members in place
of Mrs. John H. Wickson. Mrs. John H. Wickson was elected Recording
Secretary.
Mrs. Gilroy, of Hamilton, gave a very hearty welcome to the delegates,
and Mrs. Moodie responded with an appeal for more earnestness.
The Secretary, Miss Silcox, gave an excellent report, which told of great
things attempted and done.
The Treasurer, Miss Thompson, gave her report in her happy way that
makes dull figures vital.
At the Wednesday evening meal, fraternal greetings were brought from
delegates of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches.
The noon Quiet Hours were conducted by Mrs. Henry Wickson and Mrs.
Robert Wightman, of Toronto, the devotional exercises being led by Mrs.
CANADA CONGREGATIONAL WOMEN 'S BOARD OF MISSIONS 97
Moodie, of Montreal,; Mrs. Hume, of Ottawa; Mrs. Newbery, of Wellandport,
and Mrs. J. D. Nasmith, of Toronto.
The Children 's Hour, on Wednesday afternoon, captivated old as well
as young. Mrs. Bead presided and introduced "The Lady of Chisamba,"
who gave the children a delightful talk about the children of Africa.
The Wednesday evening meeting was one long to be remembered, being
the Commissioning of our new missionary. The beautiful anthem of the
choir, the sermon by Dr. Gunn, the sweet presence of our young missionary,
the hearty pledge of support of the women at home, as given by Miss Thomp-
son, the brave words of the mother-missionary as she welcomed her child
to the ranks of the nussionaries of the Cross, the prayer of consecration,
followed by the singing of the sending-out hymn, "O God, Thy children
gathered here, ' ' and then the quiet moments around the table are now
memories too deep for words.
Miss Helen Day, of Toronto, read a very interesting paper on our work
in Ceylon, written by Miss Bookwalter, at the request of Dr. G. B. Scott.
Miss Emily Thompson gave a splendid report of the ' ' Jubilee meetings ' '
of the Boston Board, held in November, 1917.
The regular pledged work of the Board was re-assumed and the Board
also assumed with joy the responsibility for the salary and annuity of Miss
Elizabeth Eead, our new missionary to Chisamba.
Mrs. Henry Wickson, Mrs. Eobert Wightman and Miss L. Silcox were
appointed to convey the greetings of the C.C.W.B.M. to the annual meetings
of the C.C.M.S. and the C.C.F.M.S. at Toronto the following week.
Greetings were sent to our missionaries in Africa and Turkey, and also
to our Maritime Branch soon to convene.
Mrs. Hume, of Ottaw^a, was appointed convener of the Business Com-
mittee for 1919, and Mrs. A. Eobertson, Toronto, convener of Eesolutions.
Eesolutions bearing on the war; on the promotion of thrift, and elimina-
tion of waste; on prayer for our Empire and its Allies, were endorsed heartily.
Three excellent papers were read on the duties of officers. Mrs. Weegar,
of Maxville, sent that on ' ' The Best Ever President, ' ' Mrs. Hume, of Ottawa,
wrote the one on ' ' Secretary, ' ' and Miss Miatt, of Toronto, gave that on
' ' Treasurers. ' '
The ' ' Quiz ' ' on missionary biographies, which was jjresented by Mrs.
Daley, of Cobourg, was most instructive.
Dr. Ealph, from our home mission station in the w-est, was the speaker
at the last evening meeting. Dr. Ealph proved as interesting and able a
speaker as he has a wa-iter.
At the close of the last session, Mrs. A. Eobertson, of Toronto, and Mrs.
Crowe, of Guelph, voiced the feelings of the visitors in extending and second-
ing a hearty vote of thanks to all who had so kindly helped to make our
meetings the success they had been. The national anthem was sung, the bene-
diction pronounced, and the Board adjourned to meet in the First Congrega-
tional Church, Kingston, in 1919.

That at next Annual Meeting the By-laws be amended, as follows: —
By-law No. I., Clause 1, after "Ministers" in line 1, add "or mis-
sionaries. ' '
By-law No. II., Clause 1, line 3, after "Canada Congregational Foreign
Missionary Society, ' ' add ' ' or of The Canada Congregational Woman 's
Board. ' '
And that this matter be committed to the Board of Directors.
J. W. Newbery,
Secretary pro tern.
THE CONGEEGATIONAL PEOVIDENT FUND SOCIETY
Another year, the sixtieth in the life of the Society, has been completed,
and a full record of its operations will be found in the Treasurer 's report,
which is to be submitted at this meeting. That record is one of continuous
and continuing prosperity. The increased interest returns which are now
available, have been taken full advantage of, with careful regard to the safety
of the principal, and the Committee feels that special mention should be made
of the sjilendid work done for many years by the President, Mr. Gurd, and the
Treasurer, Mr. Moodie, in the investment of the Society 's surplus funds.
The usual five years ' examination of the financial position of the Society
has been made, and through the friendly interest of another member of the
Board, Mr. T. B. Maeaulay, we have at our service one of the leading actuaries
of the countiy at a very moderate fee. It is gratifying to know that we are
not proceeding along hap-hazard lines, but that the financial basis on which
annuities are paid is determined in a scientific manner, and that sound reasons
exist for the expectation that the Society will always be able to meet its un-
dertakings to its members.
I have pleasure in advising that the actuary has approved an increase of
the annuity in both branches from $200 to $250 per annum, and the Board
heartily recommends that this increase be made. This is a very satisfactory
increase, amounting to 25%, and the Directors hope to see the amount still
further increased. At the same time no pension fund contemplates the pro-
vision of an amount which will entirely replace a man's earnings, and relieve
him entirely of anxiety or care in regard to the future. No man knows what
time and chance may bring to him, and all experience counsels a prudent
thrift. It is worthy of note that the amount now offered by the Provident
Fund as an annuity, represents the interest of $5,000, conservatively invested,
and the members may properly look upon it as representing an increase of
$5,000 in their savings.
The Board would again recommend that Mr. Thomas Moodie be re-
appointed as our representative in the Conditional Gifts campaign, and that
Mr. John Anderson be re-elected Auditor for the coming year.
110 CONGREGATIONAL YEAR BOOK.
It will devolve upon the members also to elect a Board of Directors, and
in this connection we regret to announce that Mr. B, W. Robertson, of King-
ston, who has served the Society on the Board for many years, has asked to be
relieved on the score of health. The balance of the Board who are open for
re-election, is as follows :
Mr. Charles Gurd, Mr. W. A. Wood, Mr. T. B. Macaulay, Mr. W. W.
O'Hara, Mr. A. McA. Murphy, Mr. W. H. Black, Mr. Arthur Birks, Mr.
Thomas Moodie, Mr. Henry O'Hara.
Eespectfully submitted,
Montreal, 3rd June, 1918. W. H. Black,
Secretary.
TREASURER'S REPORT
The Treasurer can report a good year, although there has been a slight
falling off in collections, but there appears to be growing interest in the
Society.
In the Widows ' and Orphans ' Branch the increase in assets amounts to
$6,454.19. The Francis Scholes legacy of $4,005.00 is included in this amount.
$2,000.00, in addition to the legacy, has been carried to capital account, leaving
$784.20 at credit of revenue account.
In the Retiring Ministers' Branch the collections for the year amount to
$621.63 from 28 churches, a decrease in amount of $27.00. The increase in
assets amounts to $2,232.24; of this we have carried $2,000.00 to capital ac-
count, leaving $575.45 at credit of revenue account.
In the W. & O. B. we have five annuitants and twenty-two beneficiaries.
In the R. M. B. no annuitants and twenty-three beneficiaries.
Two beneficiaries have left the country and come under By-law III.,
clause 1.
In the W. & O. B., among other investments we have invested $3,000.00 in
Dominion War Loan 5i/>% bonds.
The investments are all in good shape.
The financial statements, duly audited, are herewith presented.
Thos. Moodie,
Treasurer.

SPECIAL NOTICE
The Canadian Congregational
Year Book
In order that there may be no misunderstand-
ing it should be known that the Year Book is
issued by direction of the "Congregational
Union of Canada," and therefore the churches
are responsible for its publication. It has fur-
ther been suggested that as the book is sent
out on the ''Appropriation Plan," that churches
sell as many as they can and pay for the
balance out of the Mission Funds of the church.
The Publishing Committee act as Agents only
of the Congregational Union, and it is earnest-
ly hoped that the churches will fall in with the
suggestions made by the Union and so greatly
facilitate matters in connection with the pub-
lication and dissemination of this annual
volume, the price of w^hich remains the same
as last year — viz., 30 cents. The churches will
greatly oblige the Publishing Committee by
promptly paying for the books sent them, in
order that they may pay the printer for the
A. MARGRETT, F. J. SMITH,
Sec.-Treas. President.
SOLID GROWTH
Up-to-date business methods, backed
by an unbroken record of fair-dealing
with its policyholders, have achieved for
the Sun Life of Canada a phenomenal
growth.
Assurances in Force have more than
doubled in the past seven years and have
more than trebled in the past eleven
years.
To-day, they exceed by far those of
any Canadian Life Assurance Com-
pany.
